Birthday Present

 

 

I was deprived as a small child.

I never had a teddy bear.

When I look back it makes me wild

 I really think it was unfair.

I never had a cuddly toy

 to keep me company in bed.

Perhaps because I was a boy.

It left me scarred it must be said.

I should have had a furry friend

that I could tell my troubles to.

A pal on whom I could depend

who’d never tell the things he knew.

But now I am deprived no more.

A teddy’s mine at seventy four.
